On the way home, Mr. Xu was carrying a load of firewood, while Mr. Xu was leisurely carrying a basket and a hatchet. However, if someone observes carefully, they will find that the old man is a little nervous now.

The hand he held the hatchet was already sweaty.

The road that was not long at first was really long in the eyes of Mr. Xu.

In his basket, at the bottom is this sandalwood box, on which are some herbs and mushrooms picked.

At this time, Mr. Xu was really afraid that someone would come out and snatch the treasure from him.

Fortunately, nothing happened until I got home.

When Mr. Xu entered the house, he didn't throw the basket in the yard as before, but carried the basket into the main room.

Zhou Shi, who originally came out of the stove and was about to take the basket from the old man, was stunned. When she recovered, the old man Xu had already entered the main room.

"young married woman!"

Mr. Xu excitedly rushed to Mrs. Xu who had just returned to the house, "I'll show you something good!"

Then, the old man put the sandalwood box in the basket in front of Mrs. Xu.

With a box of jewelry, Mrs. Xu was also stunned.

"This, this, where did it come from?"

"I picked it up in the mountains. Looking at the copper locks outside, it's rusted. It should be something that is some years old!"

Old Man Xu laughed, "Now, our family is really rich!"

Mrs. Xu didn't talk to her, but picked up the jewelry in the box and glanced at it.

After just looking at it for a while, Mrs. Xu threw away the jewelry in her hand and said, "Master, this thing can't be kept!"

"What's wrong?"

"Look at the mark on that!"

"What's wrong with the mark?"

Old Man Xu picked up a hairpin and carefully checked the mark on the end of the hairpin. At this sight, the old man's expression changed.

"This is a thief!"

"No!"

Mrs. Xu nodded.

"Fortunately, we saw the notice in the county seat, otherwise, this time it would really be a disaster!"

"Ancestor bless!"

Mr. Xu folded his hands together, and was also very afraid.

Twenty years ago, there was a major case in Wangjiang County next door. Jiang Chengfu's congratulations to the present His Majesty's enthronement were robbed in transit, and all the officers and soldiers who escorted the congratulations were killed.

It was a big case that spread throughout the dynasty.

When the new emperor ascended the throne, when he heard the news, he directly dispatched a large army into the territory of Jiangchengfu, killing people with rolling heads and rivers of blood.

All the cottages and bandits in Jiangcheng Prefecture were swept away.

However, there are no clues about the stolen gifts. It's not that the robbers were not found, but that the robbers were all remnants of the previous dynasty, and would rather die than reveal the hiding place of the congratulations.

"Master, you say, those things should be hidden in the back mountain of our Lingshui Village?"

"I remember at that time, the mountain behind our village turned over to be a cottage!"

Mrs. Xu looked at Mr. Xu in amazement.

Mr. Xu was silent for a while, and then said slowly, "Daughter-in-law, do we want to go to the government to report it? It is said that the court's reward has always been there!"

"Go!"

Mrs. Xu thought for a while, "Today, your father and son met in the wood chopping area. Maybe others will go there in the future. If someone else finds something and causes trouble, we will be implicated for nothing!"

"Yes, then, tomorrow, no, I'll go to the city today!"

"Head of the house, you wait first, you said, we're going to report, those people from the previous dynasty, will they trouble us?"
